Answer: Along the Hudson River.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Dutch began colonizing North America as early as the 18th century. In time they established many colonies but among the first were trading stations on the Hudson River. Among the Dutch's first fortifications was a trading station called the "House of Good Hope". The Dutch had good trade relations with Native Americans. The Indians were most interested in metal objects sold to them by the Dutch, while on the other hand, the natives supplied the Dutch with beaver skin. From these skins, hats were made which were popular in the Netherlands among all strata of the population.
